Hi Paul,
thanks for your patch! This caught my eye:

ARCH == ARMv6.
This ARCH < ARMv6K comes from inversion of the the a bit terse
comment for ifndef CONFIG_CPU_V6, which means "out of the
post-v6 CPUs, the following applies to those > V6".
The code in the patch, IIUC make use of cmpxchg_emu_u8()
if and only if the CPU is V6.

This is now a set with one member so this comment should say:
/* ARCH == ARMv6 */
After this change.
Yours,
